Celebrity Fitness Tips: the Exact Workout Moves to Get the Star Body You Want

Want lean legs like Jennifer Aniston? Ripped arms like Sarah Jessica Parker? Celebrity trainer Seven Boggs from Bally Total Fitness shares the fitness tips and moves that will help you get ones just like ‘em!

How to Get Legs Like Jennifer Aniston’s

Workout Move: Back Lunge With Knee Raise and Leg Extension

Place a chair on your right side. Stand with your feet approximately 1 inch apart and hold on to the back of the chair with your right arm. Take a large step back with your left leg, bending it into a 90-degree angle (allowing the back knee to hover just above the floor). Then lift the left knee up toward your chest. From the chest position, extend your left leg back fully behind you (think of an ice skater on one leg with the other leg extended behind her), holding your foot up to hip level, flexing your glutes. From that position, bring knee back to chest and lunge back down. That’s one rep; do 10 to 12 on each leg. Aim for three to four sets.

How to Get Abs Like Hayden Panettiere’s

Workout Move: the Swivel

Lie on your back, bending knees into your chest. Place your hands flat on the floor next to your glutes. Slowly move knees toward the outside of your right hip, then out away from your chest, then toward the outside of the left hip, and back to your chest. (Think large circles for this movement.) Keep doing this circular movement, slow and steady, and each time, try taking the knees farther away from the midline of your body. The bigger the circle, the more the entire core has to work. Do 20 reps going right first, then 20 reps going left. Aim for three sets.

How to Get Arms Like Sarah Jessica Parker’s

Workout Move: Hammer Curls

Stand and hold 5- to 8-pound dumbbells in each hand, with palms facing your thighs. Bend arms (keeping your elbows glued to your sides) and raise the dumbbells so they tap the front of your shoulders (keeping the same hand position for the duration of these moves). From the front of the shoulder position, raise the dumbbells above your head, with arms fully extended (do not lock your elbows). From the extended position, bring the dumbbells back to the front of the shoulders, then back down to your sides. Now extend elbows back behind you, causing your triceps to contract. Once you contract the triceps, hold for a three-second count, and then bend your arms to bring the dumbbells back to the front of shoulder. That’s one rep; do 15-20. Aim for four sets.

How to Get a Butt Like Kim Kardashian’s

Workout Move: Sit-and-Stands

For this one, you’ll need a low bench, stool or solid box that’s at least 6 to 12 inches high (depending on your height, you may need one that’s a little taller; you want to make sure your seat is a little deeper than 90 degrees). Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Align your knees with your feet throughout the movement, and do not allow knees to stick out farther than toes. Now stick your booty out as if you’re dipping it in a bucket, and tap your “bench” with it. Stand back up and squeeze the glutes tight. That’s one rep; do 20 to 25. Aim for three to four sets.

Fitness note: The front of your thighs will also burn a little, but those are your stabilizer muscles that keep you from falling back, so don’t think you’re not doing your sit-and-stands correctly.

How to Get a Back Like Charlize Theron’s

Workout Move: Threading the Needle

This exercise derives from a yoga move. Lie on your right side. Stack your feet evenly, one on top of the other, so that your ankles are aligned with your knees, knees are aligned with your hips, hips are evenly stacked one on top of the other, hips are aligned with shoulders, shoulders are stacked, and your right shoulder is aligned with your right elbow. Prop your body up on your right hand into a “side plank” position. Extend your left arm straight up, hand reaching toward the ceiling. Then bring your left hand and arm down and through the space between your right arm and the space between your body and floor. Without lowering your body, bring your left arm back to your starting position. That’s one rep; do 15 on each side. Aim for three to four sets.

Fitness Note: Do this move in a slow 4-to-6-second count to ensure proper form.
